You can also simply practice aiming by using the Lightning Gun in a match. The more you use it, the better you get at using it.

I thought taht went without saying... hee hee.
I just pick it up, and then switch to offensive because it just annoys me. UT2K3 was so horribly wrong... they slaughtered UT99, thats why they brought out UT2K4 so quickly. hee hee. Some people think that they were making it while they were making 2003.

Or they continued making content for UT2003 and later released it as UT2004.
Seriously, they are identical apart from the amount of maps and vehicles.

That is very true... it would also explain the 2003 intro and the same engine. But didn't they actually up the graphics a bit for 2K4?

Well, I didn't notice any graphics changes. But the graphics are crap in both games so it isn't really debatable.

hey come on, considering how old UT2K4 now is, I think the graphics are pretty awsome... I can't put them up into full, but some people with their own textures, really do push the engine to it's limits. I know that Tactical Ops: Crossfire, when on normal settings, looks like its on high settings compared to some games. Also, the graphics in teh TO mod for UT99 were better than the graphics in UT99 itself, don't ask me how they did it, I have no idea.

UT2004 was released 3 months before Doom 3.

Or you just find a mut called Lima (Lightning Machine Gun) and then you don't need to learn how to aim.

Yeah Mac. the T:OC textures look awesome.

Automatic lightning gun?!?!?! Are they mad?!?!?!
I thought the Zark rifle was bad enough...

One thing we you cannot do to BW is add a zark rifle or some such weapon to the roster, if like most people, you know where your enemies head is, you're immediately in the top ten as long as you hold down fire...

BW won't add that kind of a weapon, they aren't crazy like too many weapon makers.

lol.

I actually like the idea with a weapons platform a lot. Fire a homing dart on somebody, then in 10 seconds a giant blue beam nebulizes them and anyone around them. I'd really like to see that, even though it's kind of copying the ion cannon...

EDIT: This would actually be the first BW superweapon, if you think about it

maybe superweapons for BW is a good idea... only one though. I think the amount unreal has kinda ruin it.

I believe the upcoming minigun is going to be a superweapon by default.

And let's not go off the topic's path too much.

well, my superweapon suggestion kind of got us back on track... it was you folks discussing the pros and cons of UT2k3 and UT2k4

Yeah that would be good.

The problem with the minigun is that when it's deployed, wouldn't it be really easy to shoot the user in the back, or snipe them?

Even when a minigun is deployed, it will still be extremely tough keeping the crosshair still, it will be shaking all over the place.

it had better have a good rate of fire, then!

Oh, for my superweapon idea, some kind of map-wide meteor summoning thing would be cool. If properly made, it won't be too cheap - just enough to kill some people, disable a power node here or there.

Armageddon as a superweapon; now that would be a looker.

Doesn't really fit BW in any way I can see, though. . .But cool.

Sounds like something from ff7 if you ask me... I'm not sure how it would work, would it shoot one out of the sky or summon one or what?

You are right, but would be great to see an asteroid rain over a big ONS map.

A lot of thread locks today, this one is off topic enough. :/
